“…A small part of the data on Indonesian labor shows increasing interest in earning from other countries, despite the risks to migrant workers. One of the attractive reasons for short term international migration is the success of fellow migrants measured by the possession of financial remuneration or remittance that they send to their home regions (Constable, 2010;Anggaunitakiranantika, 2016;Hamidi, 2017;Allmark & Wahyudi, 2019).…”

Digital technologies are widely used in various settings, including in translator training. The advancement of digital technologies, particularly translation technologies, has altered both translator training and professional setting. The present study investigates how these technologies can empower students in their learning environment. A group of 21 undergraduate translation students at Sultan Sharif Ali Islamic University conducted a series of 12-week media translation projects, consisting of social media translation and subtitling. The study results were made based on their project reports and a questionnaire to determine their attitudes towards technologies, such as Aegisub and Memsource. Based on the findings, the students showed positive attitudes towards projects and technologies. Most of them see improvements in their confidence. The projects prepared them with sufficient translation and technical skills to become professional translators, including critical thinking and teamwork skills.

“…Reports of mistreatment against Indonesian migrant workers have led to a consensus that their protection is inadequate. Indonesian migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong experience severe working conditions and are often exploited (Allmark & Wahyudi, 2019). Many migrant workers are unskilled, uneducated, and uninsured.…”

This study examined how Indonesian Muslim female migrant workers in Hong Kong, the majority of whom work in the domestic sector, negotiate their religiosity in a secular society. As a method of investigation, qualitative exploratory research was used. Observation and in-depth semi-structured interviews were used to collect data with eight Indonesian Muslim female workers in Hong Kong. The findings show that: 1) despite workplace restrictions, these workers adhered to their religious rites; 2) they utilized the most viable solutions to enable them to conduct their job obligations that were incompatible with their religion; 3) they established halaqas [religious study groups] in several mosques throughout Hong Kong and met regularly; and 4) the migrant workers gained strength from their faith, while the religious study groups greatly assisted them in overcoming and resolving life’s challenges. The researchers concluded that while it is critical for many workers to live according to their religion, many employers are unaware of their employees’ religion and religious values. There should be better dialogue and agreement on how workers and employers can negotiate their rights and obligations. In response to the study’s findings, several recommendations are made.

“…Instead, we found overt and implied references to British colonists in the online films, social media posts and personal communications of professionals and volunteers who have produced, collected or shared recordings of Banyuwangi heritage. We explored Facebook Groups where members’ views and experiences on the heritage ‘related to their specific subjectivity’ (Allmark and Wahyudi, 2019: 638). We also interviewed Munawir, founder and caretaker of Banyuwangi Tempo Doeloe (Olden Days Banyuwangi) community, to seek more insights on how community remembered the cable connection.…”

As most data travel through subsea cables, this article investigates social imaginaries of the cable laid in 1889 from Banyuwangi in south-eastern Java to Broome in north-western Australia. Through collaborative fieldwork in Broome and Banyuwangi, radically different representations are identified at either end of the cable. In Broome, the cable telegraph station is memorialized for introducing colonial sophistication to a town where Java is celebrated for facilitating communication with Britain. In Banyuwangi, there is no mention of Broome and little mention of the undersea cable. Instead, there are mythical and haunted representations of a decrepit British Hostel occasionally associated with telegraph operations. Despite some similarities in Indigenous perspectives and entrepreneurial desire to realize tourism income from cable heritage, an ocean-size gulf was identified between the social imaginaries that enabled the cable to be dug up and normalized as a cultural attraction in Broome while remaining buried, almost forgotten, in Banyuwangi.
